Abstract

The Strategy on improvement of the quality of food products in the Russian Federation until 2030 is aimed at ensuring adequate nutrition, preventing diseases, increasing the duration and quality of life of the population, and stimulating the development of production and circulation in the food market of appropriate quality. The Strategy is the basis for the establishment of a national food quality management system. The consumer market for food products is an important part of the modern economy of the Russian Federation and requires comprehensive and systematic development. The system of regulatory and legal regulation of relations in the field of quality assurance and food safety in the Russian Federation was related to the unification and harmonization of national food safety regulations with international standards and the fulfilment of the obligations of the Russian Federation as a member of the World Trade Organization and the Eurasian Economic Union. However, imperfect legal and organizational mechanisms with regard to the quality of food products result in the fact that the Russian market is characterized by the turnover of products that do not meet the needs of the majority of the population, as well as falsified food products. Consumption of food products with low consumer properties is the reason for the decline in the quality of life and development of a number of diseases of the population, including unreasonably high caloric content of food products, reduced nutritional value, excessive consumption of saturated fats, shortage of micronutrients and dietary fiber.
